Could you frame your question a little bit? All I’m seeing is an error message.

@subbu ,

I’m not quite sure of the context here. Your post only has a stack trace. But, I did notice this:

Starting in Data Prepper 1.1, there is only one distribution, the [OpenSearch Data Prepper](https://github.com/opensearch-project/data-prepper). All active development is happening in the OpenSearch Data Prepper distribution. The last release of the Open Distro Data Prepper distribution was 1.0 in May 2021. New versions will only be supplied for critical security issues through Dec 2021. If you haven’t yet migrated to the OpenSear…

Here is the currently maintained documentation on updating:
